Malaysian Technical Cooperation Programme

MTCP was officially launched on 7 September 1980 at the Commonwealth Heads of State Meeting in New Delhi to signify Malaysia’s commitment to South-South Cooperation, in particular to share its development experiences and expertise with other developing countries.
